The Bandini Quartet follows the life of one literature's most downtrodden characters - Arturo Bandini. Apparently a part-reflection of author Fante's real life, it follows Bandini's spiral from an impoverished start in life to a fucked adulthood.

A DVD with a book is one of the few 2000's trends I'd welcome back. Especially if the books are of the standard of this oral biography of Jackie Curtis - Superstar in a Housedress. Compiled from a plethora of interviews, including Holly Woodlawn, Lily Tomlin, Rose Royale and Paul Morrissey.
